The Price Of Trust Chapter 33: Bloodstained Vengeance
I didn’t feel the laptop slip from my fingers. I didn’t feel any pity or remorse as I raised it again and again. All I felt was anger—hot, burning, consuming anger.Damien’s screams filled the room, but I barely heard them. His face, smeared with blood, blurred before my eyes. My own ragged breaths were so loud, so heavy, that I could barely hear his weak, broken, pathetic pleas.“Mylaaaaa… stop… stop! You’re hurting me…”“HURTING YOU?!" I spat, slamming the laptop against his forehead again. "You wanted me to kiss your cock, huh? You sick, vile bastard!" My voice shook with anger, and my hands trembled, but I didn’t stop.His body jerked with every strike, his hands weakly trying to protect himself as blood trickled down his temple, seeping into his hair and staining the floor beneath him. But I didn’t care. Not anymore.“You think you can do whatever you want and walk away untouched?” I hissed, pressing the edge of the laptop against his skull, watching his eyes widen in sheer terro

I had to finish this—once and for all. My heart pounded like a war drum as I prowled toward him, my hands clenched into tight fists. I had come too far, crossed too many lines. And now… now, I realized I had done too much.A tight knot formed in my chest, making it hard to breathe. My hands were sweaty. How the hell was I going to get out of this?Then suddenly, Damien’s phone buzzed loudly in his pocket.The sharp vibration shattered the silence, making my whole body tense. Panic gripped me—the kind you feel when you've been caught red-handed. And, of course, I’d done worse. Much worse.I let out a shaky breath, rubbing a hand over my face before forcing myself to glance at the screen. The moment I saw the name flashing, I froze. It was that devil, Sophia. My fingers trembled slightly as I picked up the call, pressing the phone to my ear. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm. The thought of changing my voice crossed my mind, and I steeled myself to do it so Sophia would

My hands shook as I stared at the blood on them.Oh God… oh God…The sudden sound of footsteps made me freeze. They were slow, creepy, and heavy, growing closer with each step.I shut my eyes tight, my heart pounding hard against my ribs. It felt like something was squeezing my chest, making it hard to breathe.I’ve been caught… oh God, I’ve been caught. I’m going to jail. My son… Who will save my Liam?My throat tightened as panic filled me, cold and heavy. Every second felt slower, and my heartbeat thumped loudly in my ears.Then, the footsteps stopped. Right in front of me.A shadow loomed over me, and my heart froze. I felt the presence before I saw it.I braced for the worst.But instead of the cold grip of the cops, a familiar voice cut through the tension."Hey, babes. Let’s clean this mess up."My eyes flew open.Cynthia.Cynthia.My eyes widened in shock. Cynthia stood in front of me, her lips curved into the faintest smirk I knew she could make, and her gaze was sharp and fa

" What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting we finish him off?" My voice cracked as I staggered back, my legs trembling beneath me. Cynthia arched a brow, then—unbelievably—she laughed. A deep chuckle that sent chills racing down my spine."Oh, Myla… You needed to see your face right now," she teased, shaking her head.My stomach twisted. "Cynthia, this isn't funny!" I snapped, my pulse pounding. "For God's sake, be serious! What are we supposed to do?"The laughter faded from her lips, and the air between us grew heavy. Cynthia took a step forward, "First, you need to breathe." Her voice dropped, calm yet commanding. "Second, you need to trust me. And third?" She leaned in, her next words slow and deliberate. "We clean this up before anyone finds out."My chest tightened. "What if someone does?" I asked softly, my voice unsteady.Cynthia’s lips curved into a dangerous smirk. "Then we make sure they wish they never did."My eyes widened, a cold shiver crawling down my spine. Cynth

I took a slow breath, gripping my phone tightly. “Be patient, okay? I need time to arrange for that.” My voice was calm, but my heart pounded like a war drum.“Patience?” she muttered, letting out a sharp, bitter chuckle that echoed through the other end. “Cynthia escaped, remember? She could be anywhere! Watching me. Waiting. I don’t have all the time in the world.” Her voice was shaking now, but not from fear, from anger.I rolled my eyes, my lips curling into a smirk. “Relax, okay? She won’t find you. And I’ll get you the bullets soon, I just need a little time, and you have to trust me.”“Trust?” she scoffed. “I don’t have time for trust. I need that bullet now!”“And I need time! We don’t always get what we want, do we?” Before she could spit out another demand, I ended the call.The second I lowered the phone, a burst of laughter filled the room. Cynthia grinned at me, her dark eyes gleaming with mischief. “Damn, you’re good… that was smooth… too smooth,” she whispered, raising

"Really?" I asked, my voice dripping with curiosity.Cynthia let out a frustrated groan, smacking her forehead like she was dealing with the dumbest person alive."Are you serious right now? Don’t you understand sarcasm?" Her arched eyebrow was practically screaming, Are you actually this clueless?I folded my arms, trying to keep my cool. "Well, excuse me for trying to make sense of this mess!"Cynthia inhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of her nose as if she was one second away from completely losing it. "Think, ma’am. How do we clean this up?"I stared at the blood in front of us, my mind racing. Cynthia kept tapping her foot impatiently, and the pressure was suffocating.I gulped, racking my brain. THINK! THINK! THINK.After what felt like an eternity, my gaze landed on the sink. A wild, reckless idea sparked in my mind. It was insane but it was the only shot we had.My heartbeat thundered in my ears as I turned to Cynthia, my voice barely above a whisper. "I have an idea."She c

“Are you crazy?” I hissed, staring at Cynthia like she had completely lost her mind.She grinned, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “A little. But do you have a better idea?”I opened my mouth, ready to argue, but nothing came out. She had a point. A terrible, reckless, probably-going-to-get-us-killed point.I swallowed hard, glancing toward the massive wooden door that led to Jaxon’s closet. Of all the things I had imagined myself doing today, breaking into the wardrobe of that ridiculously good-looking man was not one of them.“This is a bad idea,” I muttered, even as she grabbed my wrist and pulled me toward the door.“Oh, absolutely,” she agreed, not slowing down. “But desperate times call for desperate measures.”I dug my heels into the plush carpet, yanking my arm free. “Wait!”She spun around, exasperated. “What now?”I threw my hands up. “I’m naked, Cynthia! What if someone—what if Jaxon sees me like this?”Her eyes flicked over me, amusement flickering across her face. “Techni

Oh, shit. My heart pounded like a war drum. Before I could react, Cynthia yanked me down with her, making me slide off the chair in one sharp movement. My back slammed against the cold wood of the desk, breath hitching as we pressed ourselves against it.The air felt thick, suffocating. I turned my head so slowly, and the moment I saw Jaxon, a cold knot tightened in my stomach.He stood at the doorway, his tall frame casting a long shadow across the room. My heart pounded, my breath hitchng in my throat. He hadn’t seen us. Not yet. But every second dragged, stretching unbearably, like a rope pulled too tight, ready to break.If he took even a few steps closer… if he pulled out the chair and sat, then—We were screwed.Exposed.Doomed.The thick desk barely shielded us and there wasn’t enough space to crawl underneath, so we pressed our backs against it, gripping each other’s hands so tightly that my knuckles ached.Every second felt like an eternity, the silence stretching, heavy and

The Price Of Trust Chapter 50: “Liam please don't die”
I froze. My heart stopped. The words hung in the air, slicing through my chest like a blade.“No,” I whispered, my voice barely a breath. “No, they’re wrong. They’re wrong, he’s not going to die.”I shook my head, a tear sliding down my cheek, and I felt like the world was closing in on me. Cynthia’s grip on me tightened, her face stricken with pain, but I couldn’t look away from the direction they’d taken Liam.“I can’t lose him, Cynthia. Please…” My voice broke as fear took over.Cynthia’s voice was thick as she tried to pull me into a hug, but I pushed her away. “Myla, stop! You’re going to make yourself sick.”But I didn’t care. All I could think about was Liam, lying on that cold bed alone. “I need to be with him,” I whispered, my voice breaking, my heart splintering into pieces.Cynthia looked at me, her eyes desperately pleading. “You can’t help him like this. We need to trust them.”But all I could hear in my head were the words of that nurse. “It’s too late.”I squeezed my ey
The Price Of Trust Chapter 49: Bleeding Hearts
I clutched Liam’s fragile body against my chest, my whole world crumbling in my arms. His skin was so pale, too pale. Also, his lips were turning a shade of blue that sent ice straight into my veins.“No, no, no,” I sobbed, rocking him gently. “Liam, baby, breathe. Please, just breathe.” “Don’t do this to me. Don’t leave me. I… I… can’t… I can’t survive without you.”I pressed my forehead against his, my tears dripping onto his skin. The sound of my heartbeat pounded in my ears, drowning out everything else.Cynthia’s footsteps echoed as she jumped down forcefully from the pallet, but I couldn’t look her way. At that moment, all I could see was Liam. Nothing else mattered. “Myla, We have to move. Now.”I barely heard her. “He’s not breathing,” I whispered, my hands shaking as I cradled his face. “Cynthia, he’s not…”“I know,” she cut in, her voice low but sharp. “But if we don’t act fast, neither of us is getting out of here.”She wasn’t wrong. I could hear sirens in the distance,
The Price Of Trust chapter 48: Liam, Please Don't Die
Different screams tore through the air. The sharp scent of gunpowder burned my nose, mixing with the smell of blood. My ears rang as the deafening blasts of gunfire echoed around me.I gasped, my breath coming in ragged gasps. My fingers numb as the gun slipped from my grip and clattered to the ground.No. No, no, no.My body refused to listen. My legs wobbled, barely able to hold me up. My heart pounded so hard it felt like it would break through my ribs.Boom! Another shot fired.I flinched, instinctively covering my ears, but it didn’t stop the noise. It didn’t stop the fear. It didn’t stop the sheer terror clawing at my throat.I needed to move, to get my child. But I couldn’t as my muscles were frozen.Then I heard Cynthia’s scream. A sound so raw, so filled with pain, that it sent shivers through my veins.“This was never meant to happen! You all will pay!” she shrieked, her voice cracking with anger and pain.My legs gave out beneath me, and I crashed to the ground, helpless. M
The Price Of Trust Chapter 47: One trigger, One shot, One chance
Liam sobbed uncontrollably, his body trembling violently. His breath came in ragged gasps as he struggled in vain against the chair he was tied to, desperate to break free. His flushed face turned red from all the screaming, and his tiny hands twisted against the ropes, begging to be free.My chest tightened, and before I knew it, tears blurred my vision. I wanted to walk out and yank Sophia’s hair, make her pay for all the pain she had caused me and Liam. But I couldn’t, I couldn’t destroy everything Cynthia and I had worked so hard for. My hands trembled as I raised the gun, my finger brushing against the trigger.Then, just as I was about to do it, Sophie moved. Without another word, without a single flicker of pity, she lifted her hand and let the lighter slip from her fingers.Liam was still clutching his toy, his tiny fingers wrapped so tightly around it that his knuckles had turned white. Tears streamed down his red, swollen face.Sophie didn’t hesitate. She walked over to one
The Price Of Trust Chapter 46: " Watch him burn, myla"
Cynthia’s eyes burned with urgency as she pointed toward the back door. “Now, go!” she commanded, leaving no room for argument. Without waiting for my response, she spun on her heels and strode toward the front door. Panic swirled inside me. “Cynthia, wait!”She halted, her shoulders rising and falling with each breath. Slowly, she turned to face me, her brows furrowed in frustration. “What is it?” she snapped, “Do you not understand what’s at stake? Every second we waste, the risks increase. We don’t have time for this!”I swallowed hard, my throat dry. “And how do you plan to protect yourself when you’re out of bullets?”Silence.Cynthia stiffened. Her lips parted slightly, but no words came out. The flicker of realization in her eyes sent a chill down my spine.She was tough, fearless—always the one to take charge. But now? Now she had no answer.“It’s not about me. It’s about Liam. And I’d lay my life down for him without hesitation.”The words hit me like a punch to the gut. S

We sprinted to the back of the warehouse, our breaths ragged as our hearts slammed against our ribs. Behind us, the man's screams tore through the air, raw and filled with agony.I grabbed Cynthia’s arm the moment we stopped, my fingers digging into her skin. "Cynthia, what the hell did you just do?" My voice came out in a harsh whisper, but I couldn’t control it. Fear and shock tangled inside me, making my hands shake.She turned to me, her chest rising and falling. "I had no choice.""No choice?" I hissed, my eyes darting around the warehouse as I scanned for any signs of movement. The man’s agonized screams still tore through the air, each one making my stomach twist. I turned back to Cynthia, my voice barely controlled. "You nearly killed him, Cynthia! Do you even realize what the hell you’ve just done?""He had what we needed," she said, her voice sharp. "We don’t know what’s waiting for us in there. It’s better to be ready."I wanted to argue, to tell her that this was insane, t
The Price Of Trust chapter 44: Run, Myla. Now!
Cynthia pulled into the parking lot near the airport, her knuckles white against the steering wheel. The car engine hummed beneath us, but all I could hear was the pounding of my heart. My fingers trembled as I reached for the door handle, but I forced myself to take a deep breath. We had come too far to back out now."Are you ready?" Cynthia asked, her voice steady, but I could see the tension in her eyes.No, I wasn’t. But I nodded anyway. "Let’s do this."We stepped out of the car, the afternoon sun beating down on us, making the air thick and suffocating. I wiped my sweaty palms against my trousers and glanced at Cynthia. She was scanning the area, her gaze sharp and calculating.The warehouse loomed ahead, its towering structure casting a long shadow over the ground. Every instinct in me screamed that things might not go as planned, but I ignored it anyway. We had a mission to accomplish.As we approached, my stomach twisted. The gate was locked. Not just locked—chained and padlo

As I pushed open the heavy glass door, the crisp afternoon air slapped my face, a refreshing relief from the suffocating conversation I had just escaped.My heart pounded, not from fear, but from the weight of it all. I needed to leave. Fast. Thank God I hadn’t run into Jaxon on my way out. Then, just as I stepped onto the pavement, a familiar voice echoed through the air, “Hey! You’re leaving already?”I turned to see Linda standing a few feet away, arms crossed, her sharp eyes scanning my face like she could read every thought running through my mind.I forced a smile. “Yeah, I have to pick up my child from school—plus, I’ve got an appointment to get to.”She narrowed her eyes, stepping closer. “That’s it? You just suddenly have to go?”I tightened my grip on my bag strap. “Didn’t you hear me, Linda? That’s it. I have to go.”She studied me, her gaze piercing, like she could see right through my lie. And she was right, I wasn’t just leaving for my child or some appointment. I was ru
The Price Of Trust Chapter 42: No More Distractions
The moment my eyes landed on the wall, my breath hitched. There they were. Pictures—dozens of them.Photos of me as a child, my small hands clutching a toy, and my toothy grin wide and innocent. Pictures of me in high school, frozen in time, caught in moments I barely remembered—laughing with friends, lost in thought, staring out of a classroom window. Some were crisp and clear, others slightly faded, as if they had been touched too many times, held too close, cherished beyond reason.A lump formed in my throat.Why?How did he even get these?My fingers trembled as I reached out, tracing the edges of a picture, one from my first year in high school. He had been watching me all along.The realization sent a shiver down my spine, but it wasn’t fear that took hold of me—it was something deeper, something raw. Love. Devotion. An obsession that felt both overwhelming and terrifying.Tears welled in my eyes, blurring my vision as I stepped back, taking in the sheer magnitude of what I was
